What Fruit Could I Use Besides Strawberries?
Strawberries and pound cake are a classic and it’s how you make strawberry shortcake. Strawberries are also great because they stay fresher longer than most other fruits when it’s cut. However, that doesn’t mean you are limited to just using strawberries.
You can also try:
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Bananas
- Pineapple
- Sliced Peaches
- Sliced Pears
- Chopped Pineapple
- Kiwi Slices
- Mango Slices
- Or any other fruit you can think of!
More Variations Ideas for Making Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
You can add a drizzle of white chocolate to these kabobs. I tend to skip the whipped cream when I add the white chocolate because it gets rich and I don’t want to cover up the flavors.
Add Blueberries. Make this a red, white and blue kabob by adding blueberries.
You don’t have to use pound cake. You can also use angel food cake, brownies, doughnut holes
Can I Make These Without the Kabob Sticks?
Yes, you can make these without the kabob sticks. Just layer the strawberries, pound cake, and whipped cream in a cup or bowl. You can also make these as parfaits by layering everything in a jar.

No, you don’t have to use whipped cream, but it does add a nice touch. If you don’t want to use whipped cream, you can try using:
- Cool Whip
- Heavy Cream
- Vanilla Ice Cream
